	Adventures in CyberSound: Alberti, Leone Battista
		Although it is difficult to trace the historical connections, the methods of surveying and mapping and the instruments described by Alberti are precisely those that were responsible for the new scientific accuracy of the depictions of towns and land areas that date from the late 15th and early 16th centuries.
		With customary thoroughness, Alberti embarked upon a study of the architectural and engineering practices of antiquity that he continued when he returned to Rome in 1443 with the papal court.
		Architecture preoccupied him during the 1450s and 1460s, and he traveled a great deal to the various cities and courts of Renaissance Italy, but Rome and Florence remained his intellectual homes, and he continued to cultivate the interests they had always stimulated.

	Essential World Architecture Images- Donato Bramante
		Bramante was born in Monte Adrualdo, near Urbino: here, in the 1460s, Luciano Laurana was adding to the Palazzo Ducale an arcaded courtyard and other features that seemed to have the true ring of a reborn antiquity to Federico da Montefeltro's ducal palace.
		Bramante's architecture has eclipsed his painting skills: he knew the painters Melozzo da Forlì and Piero della Francesca well, who were interested in the rules of perspective and illusionistic features in Mantegna's painting.
		As with Brunelleschi's Pazzi Chapel, Renaissance architecture was born in Florence, so at Bramante's Santa Maria presso San Satiro, the Renaissance arrived in Lombardy.

		During the late 1450s and early 1460s high-quality tapestry design was dominated by such complex pattern and narrative detail that one suspects the cartoonists intentionally created an almost baffling surface.
		"While the landscape, marble architecture, and trompe l'oeil marble frame are vaguely Mantegnesque," the catalogue observed, "the simple frontal arrangement of the figures, the schematic nature of the architectural elements, and the poorly rendered perspective do not suggest the direct involvement of the master.
		Especially significant among the latter were the relationship of Raphael's lifesize figures to clearly defined perspectival settings and the use of the borders of the tapestry as a frame through which a realistically portrayed moment of heightened physical or emotional drama is viewed," the catalogue maintained.
